Man this is a neat project. With the current crop of telemetry you could have an intelligent array of antennas based upon actual plane location! I guess it will call come down to vector math in the end!

A better 900Mhz receiver....a dream but who knows. Dreams sometimes do come true.
#1) You expect Eagletree to ship? The system is public knowledge so no wikileaks here.
#2) Jeti? I cannot see a big player want to tackle the small FPV market. 700 users...
#4) I have spoken with the designer of the Ruby. Nice guy. Has FPV in mind and will add an OSD
later....or an open interface to an established OSD like Remzibi.

If you want reputable go to Dpcav.com and get all your stuff. If you want to take a chance you
can buy off brand stuff and save some bucks. You pays your money and you takes your chances.
I have tested off brand 900 Mhz transmitters with a spectrum analyzer. They are simply not in
the same league as the real gear. Do I have some off brand stuff...yes...do I depend on it in
my expensive FPV planes...not on your life. -Ken

Does anyone know the Mb/sec of the DN-60? I currently use a Sony-MiniDV deck
but would like a non-tape solution. Especially if the unit could be triggered
with one switch. I hate having twelve different buttons to press just to record.
Yet watching the tape spin is very comforting that you are recording...

Being like Scarlet O'Hara I depend upon the kindness of others. Luckily Gary Evans
has done the same mod and had the prescience to take a photo. Thanks so much Gary.
I think they keep the ribbon cable standard so they can include whatever RF deck is
cheapest that week.

I have a bird wattmeter which I use to test transmitters output. Unfortunately I only use the 900 Mhz
band and have no slug for 1.3. As the previous poster said if you would be willing to buy the slug I
could test all your units.
Yet a spectrum analyzer would be better as it would tell you RF energy radiated at your specific wanted
frequency versus a summation of all power out. My cheap USB spectrum analyzer only works in the 900 Mhz
band but has taught me volumes about transmitters I have purchased.
The bird wattmeter lets me match antennas to transmitters and see how transmitters are performing.

I am currently looking for a cheap pico projector. The second wave of devices has arrived pushing the first wave into the bargain bin. Once I find a sale on a unit with decent light output I will try this.
In the meantime I am working on my own Trimersion hack with a 5.8 receiver.
